QU'EST-CE QUE TU CHERCHES?
You think you’re saving money by using cheap primer and topcoat? Think again.
Here’s what you’re really paying for:
Labor: Extra hours applying (and waiting for) multiple coats.
Waste: Leftover primer and topcoat that expires before the next job.
Compliance: OSHA fines for VOC violations (up to $15,000 per day).
Cost Factor | Traditional System | 2-in-1 Water-Based | Savings |
---|---|---|---|
Materials | $1,200 (primer + topcoat) | $800 (all-in-one) | $400 |
Labor | 16 hours (2 coats + dry time) | 8 hours (1 coat) | 8 hours |
Waste Disposal | $200 (hazardous solvent waste) | $20 (non-toxic) | $180 |
Total per Job | $2,500 | $1,400 | $1,100 |
A Texas welding shop switched to 2-in-1 water-based metallic paint and:
Saved $28,000/year in labor and materials.
Landed more contracts (clients loved the eco-friendly angle).
Avoided OSHA inspections (zero VOC emissions).
Ditch the outdated two-step system. One coat. Half the cost. Twice the efficiency.
